Granted: 1913-07-22
Abstract: 17,037. Oelenheinz, T., and Meulen, A. A. van der. July 22. Tobacco preparations are obtained from readyfermented tobacco or from the juice of green tobacco. The fermented tobacco is treated with alcohol and then with water, or vice versa, the resultant liquids being mixed together. The green tobacco juice is subjected to processes which are equivalent to the drying and fermentation of the green tobacco leaves. The ' drying' of the juice may be assisted by heating or stirring, and at the completion of the process the juice is freed from the zymotic phenomena by means of a short heating to 80‹ and subsequent cooling, and then fermented by means of a gradual heating. The nicotine in the juice may be eliminated .or bound by known chemical means if desired. The juice may be inoculated with pure cultures of schizomycete such as are found on fermenting or fermented tobacco or the juice may serve as a culture liquid for these bacteria. The preparations may be used alone or mixed, and may be utilized for impregnating or sprinkling low-grade tobacco to improve its quality or as an insecticide. The low grade tobacco, before being treated with the tobacco preparations, may be partially or wholly lixiviated. Specification 15,280/08 is referred to.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Piano-players, Player-pianos and the like.
Inventor: BRYAN GEORGE HARTLEY
Filed: 1912-12-10
Granted: 1913-12-10
Abstract: 28,507. Bryan, G. H. Dec. 10. Expression, controlling; blowing and exhausting air.-In an expression-controlling device for a piano-player, player-piano, or similar instrument, the normal pressure in the wind-chest is varied by adjusting the tension of a spring, or the position of a weight on a lever, connected to the governor or regulating-bellows. Temporary variations in the pressure for accenting purposes are obtained by the performer pressing the lever or performing some other operation, the movement being transmitted through rigid or inextensible means to the governor. A controlling-lever may be rotated in one plane to vary the normal pressure and in another plane to vary the temporary pressure. In one form of the invention, a lever is pivoted on the front of the instrument and connected at one end by flexible members and a bell-crank to the moving-board of the governor. The other arm of the lever carries a weight which is adjusted along the lever to vary the normal pressure in the wind-chest. A scale with expression marks upon it is provided above the lever to facilitate this adjustment. The performer varies the temporary pressure by pressing or lifting the lever. It is stated that the tone-quality of the sounds produced may be varied by suitably manipulating the lever, and that owing to the different inertias of the bass and treble piano hammers, the treble notes in a chord are accented. In a modification suitable for player-pianos, a lever carrying a weight is connected by a rigid link to the governor. A controlling-lever, adapted to rotate in an horizontal plane, is connected by links and a lever to the weight for adjusting it to vary the normal pressure. For varying the temporary pressure, another lever rotating in a vertical plane is mounted on a spindle journaled on a hinged key-slip. When the key-slip is folded down, a clutch connects this spindle to another, which is connected by suitable linkage to the lever carrying the weight. As an alternative to the clutch, the two spindles may be connected by a universal joint. Figs. 5 and 6 show another modification in which the normal pressure is varied by rotating the lever Q, R in an horizontal plane about the axis P. The position of a pin C engaging slots in levers pivoted at A and D respectively is thus adjusted, so varying the leverage of the weight W, which is in connexion with the governor E. To vary the temporary pressure, the lever Q R is rotated in a vertical plane about the axis Q O, so applying pressure to the moving-board of the governor E through the arrangement of links and lever shown. The lever Q R may be detachable or adapted to be folded up when playing manually. A pointer co-operating with lines on the tune-sheet may be provided on the controlling-lever.

The sliding part may be retained in its extreme position by a spring-pressed ball on the fixed part bearing on inclines on the sliding part. The sliding part E, Fig. 5, may be operated by toggle links c, d connected by a link e to a sliding rod b.
